1 Chronicles 2:47The sons of Jahdai: Regem, and Jothan, and Geshan, and Pelet, and Ephah, and Shaaph.
The setting
Temple archives, Jerusalem, ~450 BC. Ezra's scribes cross-reference partial records with elder testimonies to rebuild the complete tribal registry, modern-day Jerusalem, Israel.
The emotion here: careful reverence for preserving sacred family records
The original word
ben (בֵּן) — son, but also descendant, member of a clan, one who belongs to a family line
Why it matters
The name Jahdai means 'Yahweh has guided' — even minor clan leaders bore names declaring God's faithfulness
Read with care
What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 2:47
Six sons listed means this was a significant family line — large families indicated God's blessing and tribal strength
Common misconceptionThese seem like random names, but each represents a family that survived wars, famines, and exile — they're monuments to God's preservation through impossible odds.
